Term and Termination. 

Term.  This Agreement shall commence on the earlier of (a) the date that you order the Services or (b) the date upon which you first use the Services (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for an “Initial Term”, which shall be the term set forth in the applicable ordering document or web site pursuant to which you ordered the Services.  Thereafter this Agreement shall renew for additional periods of one year (each a “Renewal Term”) unless you provide prior written notice to RemoteLock of your intent not to renew the Services at least forty-five (45) days before the end of the then-current term, provided that, if applicable law requires a shorter notice period for cancellation of automatic renewal, such shorter notice period shall apply.  The Initial Term together with all Renewal Terms shall be the “Term”.  RemoteLock may provide you a no-charge trial period.  If you are provided a no-charge trial period and do not continue with a paid subscription, the Term shall conclude at the end of the free trial period.  

Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated prior to expiration of the Term under the following circumstances.  RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement or suspend access to your use of the Services immediately and without notice for a material breach of this Agreement or any improper use of the Services as may be determined in RemoteLock’s reasonable discretion.  Improper use of the Services may include, without limitation, abuse of RemoteLock customer support.  In the event of a termination pursuant to the foregoing two sentences, you shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts paid, including any amounts paid for future access to the Services.  In addition, RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services at any time with at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to you, provided that RemoteLock will refund any amounts paid for future service if termination is pursuant to this sentence. If the Services are provided on a no-charge basis, RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services at any time, for any reason and without prior notice.  If RemoteLock materially breaches this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement “for cause” by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to RemoteLock detailing such material breach, provided that, such termination shall be void if RemoteLock cures its breach within the thirty (30) day period.  If you terminate “for cause” RemoteLock will refund any payments made for future service.  You may also terminate this Agreement “for convenience” at any time by providing written notice to RemoteLock.  You agree that if you terminate this Agreement “for convenience” you shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts paid to RemoteLock and any remaining fees for the full term of your subscription (i.e., the term of your subscription applicable before termination “for convenience”) shall become immediately due and may be immediately invoiced by RemoteLock.

Promptly upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, you and your Authorized Users will cease use of the Services.  Provisions that by their nature, should survive termination of this Agreement shall survive termination.  By way of example, the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay, indemnification obligations, any limitation of liability, terms regarding ownership of intellectual property and terms regarding disputes.  ON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REMOTELOCK SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO RETAIN OR RETRIVE DATA COLLECTED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. 

Fees. 

Payment. You agree that RemoteLock may charge you for all applicable fees for the Services that you order or use (“Fees”).  Fees shall be set forth in an ordering document or will be described on RemoteLock’s website.  All quoted Fees will be exclusive of taxes, duties and the like, which may be charged by RemoteLock and will be paid by you (exclusive of taxes based on RemoteLock’s net income).  Unless otherwise set forth in an ordering document, subscription fees shall be charged upon the initial purchase and at the beginning of each Renewal Term.  If RemoteLock provides you an alternative payment schedule with multiple payment installments over the applicable subscription Term (for example, monthly payments for an annual subscription), the remaining amount for the entire subscription Term shall immediately become due and payable if you do not pay an installment payment on time. If you are provided a no-charge trial period and continue to a paid subscription after such no-charge trial period, subscription fees may be charged upon conclusion of the no-charge trial period.  If additional subscriptions for Services are purchased by you during the then-applicable Term, Fees for additional subscriptions shall be charged at RemoteLock’s then-applicable price and shall be pro-rated for the remainder of the then-applicable Term for such additional subscriptions so that all subscriptions expire/renew at the same time.  You agree that any non-subscription Fees may be charged according to RemoteLock’s then-applicable policy, which may include being immediately charged for such Fees.  If any payment is not received on time, is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected, denied, challenged or reversed, RemoteLock may suspend your access to the Services until payment is made or terminate this Agreement for material breach.

If your ordering document indicates that Fees shall be invoiced, Fees shall be due within thirty (30) days of invoice date. You agree that RemoteLock may send invoices to any address that is set forth on the ordering document.  RemoteLock shall not be required to use your payment system to submit an invoice and you agree that you do not require a purchase order to issue before invoicing.  If you fail to pay the Fees on time, RemoteLock may charge the lesser of 1% interest per month or the maximum allowable under applicable law on overdue amounts.     

UNLESS YOU CANCEL AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, AS DETAILED ABOVE IN “TERM”, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE REMOTELOCK (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND ANY TAXES FOR EACH RENEWAL TERM, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD, INCLUDING ANY CREDIT AND/OR DEBIT CARD, THAT REMOTELOCK HAS ON RECORD FOR YOU. 

IF YOU ARE PROVIDED A NO-CHARGE TRIAL PERIOD, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE ON A PAID BASIS UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE END OF THE NO-CHARGE TRIAL PERIOD, AND YOU AUTHORIZE REMOTELOCK (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND ANY TAXES FOR THE PAID SUBSCRIPTION, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD, INCLUDING ANY CREDIT AND/OR DEBIT CARD, THAT REMOTELOCK HAS ON RECORD FOR YOU.

Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain non-public information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, including technical, marketing, financial, personnel, planning, and other information (“Confidential Information”). Regardless of whether marked as confidential or not, any non-public information regarding the Services or Software shall be deemed the Confidential Information of RemoteLock.

Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and shall otherwise protect such Confidential Information, using the same degree of care which the Receiving Party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than in connection with the Receiving Party’s rights and duties pursuant to this Agreement, and shall limit the disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the employees or agents of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, and who are, with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, bound by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.

Indemnification.

Dealer Terms

THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO YOU IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE SERVICES FROM A REMOTELOCK AUTHORIZED DEALER (A “DEALER”).  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE SERVICES FROM A DEALER, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL APPLY.

Dealer Terms – Fees and Billing:  If you have ordered the Services through a Dealer, Fees and billing shall be according to your agreement with the Dealer.  In the event that a Dealer ceases to do business and/or loses its authorization from RemoteLock, you agree that RemoteLock may collect any unpaid fees for the Services directly from you.

Dispute Resolution: Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

YOU AND REMOTELOCK AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court in your county of residence within the United States if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or RemoteLock’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in Denver County, Colorado to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, disputes subject to this agreement to arbitrate shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and RemoteLock with respect to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and RemoteLock, even if the claim arises after you or RemoteLock has terminated your access to the Services and/or this Agreement.

Before initiating an arbitration, you and RemoteLock each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. Other than in the case of potential irreparable harm, you and RemoteLock agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until forty-five days after delivery of the applicable Notice of Dispute.

Arbitration Process and Procedure 

If you and RemoteLock do not reach an agreed upon solution within forty-five (45) days from delivery of the Notice of Dispute, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to this Agreement. Arbitration shall (1) be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place in the county where you reside or any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

YOU AND REMOTELOCK EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Further, unless both you and RemoteLock expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and RemoteLock each waive the right to a jury trial.

YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND REMOTELOCK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and RemoteLock each agree that all issues regarding a dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide. Further, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Hearing

If your claim does not exceed $10,000 (USD), you and RemoteLock agree to waive an oral hearing by the arbitrator and the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and RemoteLock submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. To the extent an oral hearing is requested by you or RemoteLock, or deemed necessary by the arbitrator, you and RemoteLock agree that the hearing will be conducted telephonically or videographically.

Arbitrators Decision

An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Fees

It is each parties’ responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, case management/administrative, and arbitrator fees as set forth in the JAMS Rules. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, RemoteLock will pay the additional cost. If your claim for damages does not exceed $25,000 (USD) and you follow the dispute notice procedure set forth above, RemoteLock will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your dispute or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Small Claims and Government Action

As an alternative to arbitration, you or RemoteLock may resolve disputes in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over your claim. This Agreement and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against RemoteLock on your behalf.
